Grand Piano

 
Grand Piano 
Exquisite
For my soul 
a true delight 
Anticipation rising
for the pianist
to arrive
Upon his stool
so comfortable
flexed fingers
and closed eyes
No music sheet
knows every note
and plays complete 
Concerto
Looking up
A baton raised
Fingers are alive
I’m in another place
Transported to Utopia
Conductress 
asks of violins
A gentle
calm refrain
Then cellos add 
a depth of sound
music playing all around
Crescendo 
takes on hidden depths
Pulls me in 
My tears doth flow
Rachmaninoff 
reaches deep
into my heart
into my soul
A magical spell
'tis played 
upon
Exquisite
Grand Piano


Written 13th March 2022 after seeing the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing live...

Aww thank you dearest Line, so pleased you enjoyed it. I was so in awe of his unbelievable talent and it truly moved me so much to hear him playing this wonderful instrument I was compelled to write my feelings down... with love and hugs Ann xx
